UNDERSTANDING PAYROLL TAX
Payroll Tax is a general purpose state tax imposed on an employer’s liability for paying its employees wages. The calculation is based on the amount of wages paid per month as well as the location per state or territory in which you employ staff in Australia. Not all businesses have a Payroll Tax obligation, however you only are liable for Payroll Tax if your company’s total amount of wages exceeds the tax-free threshold rates of your state or territory.
REGISTRATION AND DOCUMENTATION
As an Australian business owner, you will need to register for Payroll Tax in your state or territory if you exceed the annual threshold. Visit your Local State Revenue Office and find out if your business is required to register for Payroll Tax or if it qualifies for an exemption.
COMPLIANCE REVIEWS
A Compliance Review is a complex matter. Our accountants at Jokama conduct compliance reviews on a business whenever necessary to assess whether or not they comply with state laws and compensation schemes. From this assessment, our team can conclude whether or not a business has complied fully with taxation laws such as those that concern the state Payroll Tax and Worker’s Compensation Premium.
THE PROCESS FOR REVIEWS
When performing, a compliance review our staff will:
- consider materiality and risks
- obtain adequate and significant evidence on which to base assessment
- produce documentation regarding the case
- report professional advice based on findings
